"My husband and I we were fortunate to have received several recommendations from other first-time home buyers who had been able to find what they were looking for with Ben's help. Although we were initially hesitant to deal with real estate agents, a demanding job and long hours made the process of house hunting quite daunting but with a lot of patience, insight and humor, Ben helped us navigate the process with ease. We were so grateful for his honesty and concern for us, always keeping us grounded by pointing out issues in homes that the untrained eye would have easily overlooked...as we did in more than one occasion. We never felt pressured to buy a home and it was comforting to know that no matter how excited we got about a particular property, Ben could always be counted on to ensure that the aesthetics did not fool us. With extensive knowledge about renovations, he could easily tell when contractors had taken short cuts in the quality of the job and materials used, something that we were initially oblivious to. Since he has been selling homes in the DC, MD and VA area for years, he was able to share important information about several neighborhoods, their trajectory and prospects in the coming years. Throughout the whole process we never felt pressured to buy a home and thanks to his help we found a beautiful place. From the search to placing offers and closing on the house, Ben was there at every step of the way, always timely and responsive in answering questions and concerns. I've recommended him to every person that is house hunting and when the time comes to look for another place, without a doubt Ben will continue to be out go-to guy." Read More
